Kayden Lagana’ shoots a new highest 6 game series at the European Youth Championships in HelsinkiThe Maltese National Youth bowling teams, 4 boys and 4 girls went to Finland to take part in the European Youth under 18 Championships in which 100 boys and 68 girls representing 27 countries took part.With no official center to train on for 3 months, this was not going to be easy but thanks to the timely support of BeActive SportMalta, a certain amount of training opportunities were made available in Gozo and in Malta at the 2 small remaining centres to allow the players an acceptable level of preparation, under coach Mark Spiteri. The male 4 boys’ team, made up of Nicolai Mallia, Julian Baldacchino, Chris Fenech and Kayden Lagana’, had a great performance and finished in 7th place out of 22 teams ahead of countries like England, The Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy, to name a few. It was during this team event that Lagana’ set not only the Maltese 6 game record butalso the best 6 game series by a youth in the European Youth Championships of 1487 (247.8 average), that started off with an incredible 22 strikes in a row to bowl a perfect 300 followed up by a 289. Lagana’ with this performance finished in 4th place in the All Events, and also made it to the Masters where he lost out in the opening direct clash with the Norwegian Mathias Danielsen, who went on to win the overall Masters event.The girls’ team, bowling on a less difficult but still tough lane condition, made up of Mia Bugeja, Celianne Micallef, Jade Barbara and Karlise Bartolo finished in 14th place, with Mia bowling best with a strong 188 average, that combined with her scores in the singles and doubles event, meant she finished highest of the Maltese girls in 43rd place.

L-assoċjazzjoni nazzjonali tal-bowling f’Malta żvela żewġ tarki bħala l-premji l-ġodda taż-żewġ kampjonati eżistenti tagħhom f’kollaborazzjoni mal-Bank of Valletta. Ukoll ħabbru kif il-proġett tal-Erasmus+ se tgħin ilmembri tagħhom sabiex jitjiebu l-logħob tagħhom.  L-ewwel minn żewġ avviżi waqt il-Presentation Night ra lil Malta Bowling Association (MBA) jiżvela żewġ tarki bħala l-premji l-ġodda għat-timijiet li jirbħu l-kampjonati nazzjonali sponsorjati minn BOV. Tarka ġiet preżentata għal kull tim rebbieħ mis-staġun li temm xahar ilu f’Ġunju 2023 – wieħed għal “Team BOOM” li rebħu l-BOV Premier League u ieħor għat-tim “Emma’s Kitchen” li spiċċaw ir-rebbieħa tal-BOV Tieni Diviżjoni (BOV 2nd Division).  It-tarki għandhom 14-il plakka tal-fidda fuqhom; ippjanata li kull plakka jkollha inċiżjoni bl-isem tat-tim rebbieħa għall-kampjonati li ġejjin.  It-tieni avviż ħabbar li l-MBA se tikkollabora ma’ professuri mill-Università ta’ Aristotle f’Tessaloniki u Tenpin Club tal-Bowling mill-istess belt Grieg f’proġett tal-Erasmus+.  Dan il-proġett, li jismu “STAY In Bowling”, se tati opportunità lil membri interessati sabiex janalizzaw it-teknika tagħhom bl-użu ta’ sensuri. B’dawn is-sensuri, atleti (flimkien mal-kowċes tagħhom) jistgħu jaraw minn applikazzjoni addattata t-teknika tagħhom f’forma ta’ figura rqiqa. B’hekk, il-parteċipanti se jkollhom lopportunità jaraw x’inhuma eżatti l-affarijiet konsistenti u inkonsistenti fil-logħba tagħhom. Dan il-proġett huwa fl-ewwel fażi fit-timeline tiegħu – il-kollezzjoni ta’ applikazzjonijiet minn membri interessati li jixtiequ jitjiebu bl-użu ta’ din it-teknoloġija.  Il-Malta Bowling Association għamlet dawn iż-żewġ avviżi waqt il-Presentation Night tagħhom nhar ilĠimgħa, fejn ippreżentew medalji u premji lil atleti lokali li rebħu l-kampjonati u kompetizzjonijiet fil-perjodu bejn it-tieni nofs ta’ 2022 sa l-ewwel nofs ta’ 2023. Premier League Winners Team Boom Malta Bowling Association Unveils BOV National League Shields and Collaboration in Erasmus+ Project in Presentation Night  The national bowling association unveiled new league trophies in the form of shields to commemorate their national leagues in collaboration with Bank of Valletta. The Malta Bowling Association (MBA) hosted its Presentation Night this Friday evening, in which trophies and medals were given to the winners of local tournaments and leagues from the second half of 2022 till the first half of 2023.  In one of two surprise announcements, the MBA unveiled its new league shields for the winners of its national leagues to its members. These shields were presented by representatives from Bank of Valletta since BOV sponsor the MBA’s nationally sanctioned leagues. Two shields were presented: one for the BOV 2nd Division and one for the BOV Premier League.  The shields feature silver plaques featuring engravings of the names of the league-winning teams. These league prizes were presented to the reigning champions of each league: Team BOOM for the BOV Premier League and Emma’s Kitchen as the recent winners of the BOV 2nd Division. Players from the winning teams were also presented with medals.  The second announcement notified the present members of the MBA about the association’s involvement in an Erasmus+ project titled “STAY In Bowling” in collaboration with professors within the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.  They announced that members who wish to participate in this project shall benefit from sensory technology they may use to analyse their techniques during training sessions. Using gait analysis, the attached sensors will create a stick figure of the bowler in question through a created software; this will help local athletes, with help from their coaches, analyse their techniques and spot any inconsistencies from one shot to another.  This Erasmus+ project is currently in the application process of its timeline.
